Ok, I've read the pf tek on here, and ive read the faq about temp and they both say different things!

The pf tek says to store the jars at 70 F, the faq says to store them at 75-85 F an has the chart showing optimal growth at 85. Which one is right, or does it really make that much of a difference in temperature?

During "incubation" you want the higher temps 82-86*F is optimal range for incubation of spores and rapid mycelial growth .During the fruiting stages you want to be in the middle to upper 70'S .Make sense now ?

To my knowledge coco coir is nothing more than shredded coconut husk, which is what Bed a Beast is made of. Maybe there are different degrees of coarseness available in other coir brands. Bed a Beast has worked fine for me so I have not bothered looking.
